I am looking for commercial fiction across the board, but the particular areas I’d like to grow are romance, SFF & mysteries! 💕🛸🧚🕵️

Further info will be on the website (link in my bio) & on slides below…

Honestly doesn’t matter what genre as long as it’s on my #mswl but I need to read something that can overpower my lexapro and make me cry ASAP 😅

Gearing up to open for submissions on Wednesday, Jan 15. #MSWL coming soon!

PB nonfiction: I love STEM topics and stories exploring the natural world, but has to be more narrative-driven rather than just facts. I probably have my fill of outer space at the moment, but earthbound subjects and overlooked figures are more than welcome!

PB fiction: another great place for the intersection of humor and heart! I love narrative driven stories that are about character journeys, and less interested in concept/message driven books. 2 reigning faves are Stumpkin and Pokko and the Drum.

MG: escapism is really the key word here! I love action and adventure whether it’s contemporary like Spy School or fantasy like Wilderlore. I’m drawn to big hearted emotions, wondrous magic, and zany humor

YA: thrillers and suspense, I especially like unreliable narrators, locked room settings and time clocks. Fast paced action is a little more my vibe than slow burn mystery.

YA: fantasy/speculative with easy entry/accessible worldbuilding, or contemporary settings with magical elements like monsters or witchcraft. Either propulsive like a VE Schwab or cozy like the Spellshop or Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Open to crossover but has to have that teen voice.

YA: Romance! I love forbidden/star crossed lovers, forced proximity, enemies/rivals to lovers and low stakes feel-good love stories including queer stories! Open to both contemporary, romantasy, fantasy subplots, the works!

Overall! I’m really drawn to characters in impossible situations, immersive settings, imaginative world building, and witty humor. My taste is super escapist lately so it’s fine if you make me cry but I need a happy or hopeful ending (i beg)

It’s feeling like a good time to update my #mswl with what I’m interested in this year! As always I’m acquiring PB, MG, and YA, and can only accept agented submissions. 👇

I will be open to queries January 17-31. Please check out my #MSWL at: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/annie-romano/. Looking forward to reading queries again!

I’d love to see MG with similar vibes to Gravity Falls #MSWL

What I'm specifically looking for atm:

High heat romantasy
Non-western fantasy
YA + MG horror/horror romance
YA + MG mystery
Stories that read like Fright Krewe & Blood At The Root (I beg)
Stories that read like Mexican Gothic & The Hacienda
House of the Beast comps
